iPod vs DJ

You’re getting married, have already spent too much and need to cut down on costs. You are thinking of replacing the DJ for an iPod but is this really such a great idea? And how much would you actually save?

If you are thinking of using an iPod you will have to find someone who is willing and confident enough on the mic to do announcements and can get your guests going. Someone who takes requests, reads the crowd and plays the right tune at the right time. You might want to take a moment to realise what consequences using an iPod has and if this is worth it for you.

What happens if someone asks for a request or you would like your favourite song played right now? Scrolling through a list of songs while there’s an awkward silence at your Wedding Reception is maybe not the ideal idea of a great party. It’s also more than likely people’s requested songs are not on the iPod (this can be a good thing in some cases;-)

Is it fair to expect your friend to be a ‘crowd reader’, presenter and the one that lets your Wedding Reception flow while it takes a DJ years of experience to get to that point? Is it worth the risk of having a dissappointing evening with friends and family leaving early on which should be your best night ever? What happens if the sound system stops working or you blow a speaker?

You should be able to get a professional DJ with good basic equipment for a few hundred pounds. They come packed with the professionalism gathered by years of experience, large music collection for every age group and understanding of what it takes to make a great, enjoyable, memorable Party. Renting a sound system will still cost around £200 and don’t forget you need someone to set it up too. For maybe £100 more you will get the DJ with it and a guaranteed enjoyable party without awkward silences and stress.

If you want to save money why not let one of your friends bake the cake, make your own invitations or decorate the room yourself. If we may give any advice make sure you save on something that won’t have any influence on the atmosphere of the day.

When you throw a party there is normally a fair amount of time and money involved in planning. If your entertainment is disappointing the whole event is ruined, no matter how good the other services are. So it is vital that your DJ reads the crowd, builds a fantastic atmosphere and keeps your guests on the dance floor for as long as possible. To do this they will need:

1. A huge music collection to appeal to all age groups. This takes thousands of hours and money to collect. Over the years the Professional DJ collects 10’s of thousands of tracks, all bought to expand his music collection so he can serve all customers as well as possible. The Professional is prepared, makes sure to have all your favourite tracks, discusses your wishes and makes it happen on the night.

2. Plenty of experience to make sure you enjoy the night to the max. With lots of people of various ages attending your party it’s not the easiest job to keep everyone happy. Reading the crowd and dropping the right tunes at the right time to make the crowd go crazy takes a lot of experience. Good experience amounts over thousands of hours performing at a variety of Parties, Events and Clubs. This all takes time and as we say; time is money.

Equipment, that’s the next interesting point. A Professional DJ doesn’t want to work with cheap, distorting sound systems and awful looking lighting. He loves his music and wants it to sound and look as good as possible. Buying a quality sound system and maintaining it costs far more than the cheaper versions, but the results are well worth it. If you played the two systems next to each other it would make you laugh.

Yet another point where the professional divides from the cheap DJ. Every time the pro performs he wants it to sound great, look amazing and have people dancing to his tunes all night.

“Park a mile from the venue, come in through the backdoor, take the first door left, up 4 stairs, first door right to the end of the corridor and you will find the room.”

People often say to us; We only want the DJ to play for 4 hours, but there’s lots more involved in being a mobile DJ than you would initially think. Many hours before the party starts the mobile DJ has already arrived to set up his equipment. What many people don’t realise is that even nowadays many venues don’t have lifts. The DJ has to climb many stairs up and down with heavy speakers, lighting, flight cases and boxes of wires. Hotels don’t let you load and unload through the main entrance and quite often lead you through a maze of backdoors to reach the right room to perform in. After setting up and playing his 4 hour set, the moving equipment process has to be repeated and by the time everyone’s in bed, the DJ is still packing down.

Now we don’t want to make it sound like it’s too much effort, because that’s not the case. We like people to be aware that there is a lot more to being a DJ than to just plug in and play. In the end it’s up to everyone individually to choose whether to use a Professional or a cheap DJ. But if we may advise you, choose wisely and consider what you would like to achieve at your party. If you like professionalism, reliability, service and good quality choose the pro! In other words if you want to have a great party and not have to worry, choose the professional DJ. If you are willing to take the risk of embarrassment at your party from substandard entertainment book the amateur for less money. What we suggest is that you ask to see genuine feedback from previous customers and base your decision bearing that in mind.

Thanks for a great night. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and said to make sure that we got you back for the next party.

Hi Jason

Having just about recovered from the events of Sunday, I wanted to say a very big thank you for your playing on Sunday and your hard work later in the afternoon. It was very kind. I hope you enjoyed yourself, glad you wanted to play my tunes and my friends were all very impressed. It’s a lovely venue, isn’t it.

Hope you keep busy and I’ll wait for those CDs of the guilty pleasures!

Regards.

DJ Reviews in Date Order

Thank you so much Jason for Friday night. I know that we were extremely lucky to have you as our DJ for the night and wanted to say a special thank you for that.

From the minute the music started the dance floor was occupied. People were dancing until the very end and that was very much down to you!

Many thanks

Gabrielle Martin

Hi Jason ,

Lovely – thanks so much for this – much appreciated!

Yes we all had a great time. Thank you for putting on such a great show as always.

Look forward to catching up soon.

Afternoon Jason,

I have finally sat down after three days of clearing up ! I am just waiting for the guys from Greater London Marquees to come and dismantle the large marquee and then I am finished. Back to work and reality tomorrow.I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you very much for all the hard work that you and Annie put into setting up and packing up your equipment amongst all the activities and people in my house. It truly was a seamless entrance and exit. Thank you for that.I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I was with how the evening went due to your expertise, professionalism and clearly a deep rooted love of what you do. I took great pleasure in watch my family and very close friends really letting their hair down and enjoying themselves. So with both of your help, my main aim of the night was achieved.I had a ball it was such a pleasure to welcome you both into my home, celebrate my birthday and bring in the New Year in such style.

You have made a fifty year old girl very happy!

The very best wishesFromAlison x

Hi Katrin,

On behalf of everyone here at Freeport, a massive thanks to you, the Event Manager from last night, the staff and everyone that helped to make a successful night possible. We enjoyed every single bit of it, the DJ was absolutely amazing and the staff very attentive. Sure I’ll get in touch again, we might repeat it next year:-)

Kindest regards,

He played all of the music we sent him prior to the wedding and was flexible on the night to add a few more songs that we wanted to throw in. He was great to work with and totally calm throughout the day. We were told by the venue that they’d never seen a couple dance so much on their wedding day, and that can only be because of the fantastic DJ we had. Thank you so much to Jason and his team for helping to make our day so special!

To Lynn, Wayne, Annie, Jason,

Thank you so much for making our Wedding extra special. We loved the music and can not thank you enough!

Jason was friendly and did everything we wanted. The music worked for everyone – from the teenagers to the oldies. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants music for a special event to choose Platinum. Very impressed you got us such a great DJ at such short notice.Please inform us of any improvements we could make : None. Everyone at Platinum we have talked to – Lynn, Wayne and Jason – has been very accommodating.Maybe change the form which outlines the prices – I found it hard to work out.

DJ Jason was professional, fun and paid close attention to detail – he made sure we had a superb time!

Before the event he made time to learn about our preferences and requests, responding in a timely way to phone calls and emails.He arrived early enough to set up to be ready to play right on time which meant the party ran really smoothly, and he looked the part in his dinner jacket.He managed to fill the dance floor even though our party was in the middle of the day. He was flexible and even amenable to requests for Bhangra – and I’ve received feedback that he did very well with it!

He provided just the right amount of communication in terms of announcements.In addition the volume of the music was spot on- loud enough so we knew we were at a cracking party but not uncomfortably so!

DJ Jason has brilliant judgement in terms of choosing the right track at the right time. He played the slightly older, more classic (and universally loved) tracks at the beginning and got everyone onto the dance floor. He managed to build the atmosphere up, over the event, to a really exhilarating and memorable finale- he had clearly listened to what we especially liked and made sure that the party ended with a bang. I especially appreciated the way he managed to get everyone back onto the dance floor for some classic Sinatra- and even joined in himself- just before said finale. DJ Jason really was an instrumental part of the party.

DJ Jason is talented and professional and actively tailors his choices to fit the crowd; he is so perceptive and reads the room beautifully. He excelled at the challenge of playing to a varied group and making sure everyone had a really glorious time; and it was great to see that he was having a good time himself too. He was also kind enough to spend time reflecting with me in a really positive and thoughtful way about how he thought the party went afterwards. He is polite and courteous and very easy to get on with.

It was an honour to have DJ Jason playing at our event. Thank you so much.

Best wishesJayna

Billy was hoping that we we could get a copy of the photographs that you took on the night – is that possible?

Hope you made it safely back to London, and the take down didn’t take too long.

Kind regards

Hi Jason,

Was great working with you and your performers on this event – I think Leyla and guests all had a great time!

Will most definitely keep your details on file and send over any potential clients that may need a DJ.

Kindest Regards,

Hi, I hosted a party last week for around 100 people at a roof top venue in London. I just wanted to say that Jason was fantastic, the music was exactly what I had asked for (as the organiser) and then Jason just kept the songs flowing and really knew how to cater for the audience. Jason was polite, professional and an absolute joy to have at our event! 100% recommend Jason for any event. I have worked with other DJ’s before and the friendly manner and energy of Jason just made it so much more enjoyable! Thanks for an amazing event:-)

I am so sorry for the delay in sending you an email – it has been on my to do list:-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for last Thursday. Everyone is talking about how wonderful the night was. Dot and the Hilton crew loved it! She called me 9 am Friday saying you were amazing!

I will send you a separate email shortly and discuss Christmas Parties with you!

Dear Lynn,

Jason performed beyond expectations.

We hope that he will be free when we next need a DJ.

Thanks you for helping to make the event one to remember.

Kindest Regards,Christine

Firstly I apologise for not getting back to you sooner. We have been pretty well swept up in post marriage goings on and have only just got around to starting to thanks guests and people who have helped us out during the whole process.

We really hope you were able to enjoy yourselves in amongst all the hard work and people running around drunk at the end of the evening?

Allyson and I had the most amazing day and you, Jay and your team played a big part in that. It’s hard to thank you enough!

I believe Allyson and I paid for something, prior to the Wedding, that we didn’t, in the end, need which had a value of around £200. Sorry to be vague. We’d like you and your team to keep that money as a thank you to you for helping make the Wedding go as well as it did.

We’re really grateful and I’m currently busy thinking of excuses for a party to use Platinum DJs again!

Thanks again,

Lewis & Allyson

To all at Platinum DJs:

We want to thank you all for the hard work you put in to making our wedding amazing! The professional service you provided before, during and after the event couldn’t have been better and you completed it all without a hitch which helped us feel relaxed all the way through.

The setup, performance and entertainment from Jason, Jay and everyone who helped with the music and casino tables was perfect. Our guests really enjoyed all of it, with many commenting on how great the entertainment provided was.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Platinum DJs services to anyone who asked if they should hire them. We hope we have reason to again.

Lew & ally

Thank you very much for all your help this Christmas, it was a great success and I am sure we will give you more business in 2016.

Please pass my thanks to Jason as well.

Have a great Christmas and a very happy new year:)

You and Jason were both amazing, it feels like you were party guests. Such a gorgeous couple. Hope you got home ok and that your jet lag was bearable! Everyone had an incredible evening. We have had so many lovely emails and messages. We can’t thank you enough for really making our party one to remember forever. Thank you so much for taking so many photos, wow! Can you photoshop my double chin??!! ha ha!

You left your charger, what’s your address and I’ll send it.

Thank you for everything, really excited for the picks. Hope we can party again with you both soon, lots of people asked for Jason’s details…

Jason Dupuy was a wow DJ at our house party,cannot recommend him highly enough.Sensational. Organising a party,call these guys.

Wow, where do I start? The best in business. These guys exude Charisma, Confidence and they are nothing but professionals. They are easy going, down to earth and just a pleasure to be around. Nothing is too much, they are in tune with your needs and do their absolute best to make the night as perfect as possible for you. I booked them for my wedding and we had a real nice positive club vibe at the wedding reception. Because they are so amazing I re-booked them for my wife’s 30th party, to me they’re like family now so I couldn’t not. You know what you’re getting with them; reliability, quality and a performance that is not attainable by your bog standard pub DJ. The fact is you get what you pay for in life, these guys won’t be the cheapest in the business but that’s irrelevant, you pay for quality. At an event, the DJ is what really makes it. SHIT DJ = Shit Event. That’s a given. If I ever organise another event and it requires a DJ there won’t be a single doubt in my mind about using these guys again. I can’t recommend or thank them enough. I hope that helps others to make their decision, and anyone wishing to validate the independence of this review is welcome to contact me directly. A little tip: if booking them definitely ask to see if JayOnDrums and the Saxophonist are available as they give it an even more special vibe. Keep doing what you’re doing guys as you’re absolutely smashing it.

Brilliant surprise Birthday Party for Victoria Kirkby. Had a great night!! Great friends n good music. Jason Dupuy was awesome as ever!

Hi Jason,

Hope all’s well.

We’ve got Richard Rogers back on Osea. Can we book you in for Sat 11th July?

We’re meeting up with them in a few weeks but Maxine asked me to contact you…

Hope you can make it? Speak soon, Darren

Hi Jason,

You DJ’d at my friends wedding in October in Maidenhead.. Rachel and Chris Allen.. and we had a great night.

I am looking for a DJ for my 40th Birthday in my back garden on Sat 27th June and wondered if you were available and what your rates are?

Many Thanks Angie Payne

Hi Jason,

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for Tuesday night, the evening was a great success and apparently the best road show so far, which was great feedback for Ryan and myself.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Kindest RegardsJo

Hi Jason,

I am glad you had a great time in South Africa, it is an amazing country that I really like going to for a holiday.

Thanks a lot for making the party such a fun one for us! It was really awesome as pretty impressive people stayed late (everyone is getting older and doesn’t want to anymore). This will definitely remain a great memory and a highlight from the wedding day.

Thanks a lot to Annie as well for taking the pictures. No rush at all for sharing but would be awesome indeed to have them – these are such wonderful memories.

Cheers Katia

Hi Lynn and Jason,

This is a long time after 7th June, but I wanted to say thanks to Jason for the amazing job he did at our wedding. From the music to the lights and the exceptional job he did with the outdoors part of the day, everything was brilliant, beyond expectations and beyond anything I have seen at a wedding before.

Before and during the wedding, both you and he were super efficient and very easy to work with, so thanks so much for that.

All the best wishes,Dom

Hi Julian,

We had an amazing day on Saturday thank you. It was exactly what we had hoped for.

We both thanked Jason on the night but he was absolutely excellent – so helpful and accommodating. We had so many positive comments about the music. It really was a great party… there were boos when the power automatically cut out at 11 am.

The hall itself looked great, the lights worked really well, in the hall and on the stage.

We’d both like to thank you for the service you have provided. All the guests who added songs loved the website and your assistance throughout really made things easy and stress free.

Cheers Simon

Any other information:Jason Dupuy was the DJ for my sons 21st at the same address in September two years ago and my husband thought he was really good.

Please pass on my thanks to Jason!

Kind regards,Michael

Thank you! Great to meet you too Jason. You got Richard Rogers, the main man, glued to the dance floor:-)

Good Morning,

Jason played at our office weekend at Osea Island on Saturday 10 May and we had such a great night. I am trying to find out what his availibility is for either Thursday 11 or Friday 12 December for our Christmas Party in central London. I would appreciate some details such as costs if you are available.

Thanks in advance, kind regards, Maxine

Great thanks Jason, it looked fun!

Hi Lynn,

Had a wicked night Jason was great! I’ll let you know our next events, really enjoyed the night! So happy with the service you provide your all so kind! xx

Hi Lynn,

Just to let you know I got the following feed back from the client on Jason and Anna See below.

Many Thanks, Oscar

Hi Oscar,

Jason did a great job on Wednesday evening at the BH Awards Event. Equally the violinist was well received used so little but great impact exactly what they were after!

Thanks again for making it such amazing night!Let me know when you’re next in town and the Armstrong brothers can buy you a beer or 2!

Just wanted to say thanks to Jason and the team for the most remarkable performance. We originally found him by a Google search for award winning DJ’s as we wanted the best and that’s exactly what we received. Jason is extremely professional and extremely skilled he listened to my needs and executed the performance flawlessly, there wasn’t a single request he wasn’t able to fulfil. He went the extra mile and even threw in some extras for us which was a pleasant surprise. He brought a fantastic team with him; Jay on drums is a true performer. He’s confident, charismatic and he just radiates positivity and makes the whole place feel good. An excellent percussionist who really adds that edge to the performance. If I ever book Jason again, which I’m sure I will, it will not be without Jay because together the performance is unforgettable. Last but not least John O’Neill, he’s one hell of a cool cat he makes sax playing look simple. He stands there chilled and along with the other two guys just jazzes up the place outstandingly well. He’s fantastic, plays tremendously and again along with the others gives an outstanding performance. Conclusively Platinum DJs completely exceeded my expectations and I would have no hesitation rebooking them or recommending them to others. I have heard cheap DJs play and would recommend you always pay the extra for these guys! It’s money extremely well spent!

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your email, I really appreciate your help, it was very kind of you to suggest a venue.

I have emailed Terry after having a look at Winchester House, it’s amazing and such a pretty setting! I would have never found such a beautiful venue, fingers crossed they have some availability in July… It seemed very reasonable also and I feel it would be within our budget!I will definitely wish to book with yourself and will let you know what Terry says.

Dear Lynn&Jason,We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did towards our wedding reception. Your professional advice and enthusiasm made the whole build up to the day so easy and enjoyable. The night itself was fantastic. We’ve had so many people go out of their way to say how brilliant the music was, how much they loved it and wanting to pass on their appreciation. It goes without saying that we’ll stay in contact and hopefully we’ll find an excuse for another party very soon that we’d love to see you at! All our love, Mark&Clair xxxxx

You recently DJ’d at my mates wedding and were we impressed with your work!

Thank you so much Jason for your assistance; I really do appreciate it. Look forward to meeting your guys tomorrow.

Lee Hardy

Hi Jason, nearly a year since you smashed our big day, still enjoying the memories everyday!

Hope you are well and still living the dream.

Me, Louise and some friends are in London tomorrow night at a film premier then after show party in Zenna bar Soho. Just wondered if you were playing anywhere would be great to drop in and say hi?

All the best Lee & Louise Hardy, Married May 12th Sprowston Manor

Brilliant, thanks Jason, its just so hectic here and I am still getting lost in the corridors. I do not think we have recommended suppliers but I will happily recommend you as you were great at OGGS. I will be in touch when I am more settled and bring you in to discuss further if that is ok?

Congratulations on the new addition to the family by the way!!

Kind regards

Hey, you are welcome to put that on the top of your testimonials Jason, you are terrific at what you do, you clearly work hard at providing a great service for your clients but you make it look effortless. Mark and I wish you and Platinum Promotions continued success in the future.

We’ve passed your name onto Jamie at East Quay as he was asking about you, I think he had it in mind to recommend you to other wedding couples who asked for recommendations for DJ’s so I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear that!

We had such a great night, thanks again for making the party go with a swing.

Hi Lynn

We had the best evening thanks. I would like to thank you for all your help and I too will miss our little E Mail chats. Look forward to getting the ministry of sound details as would be great to come along. Please thank Jason again, we had lots of compliments about him and people have asked me for his details, so we hope very much to bump into him again soon. We had a very happy evening with young and old celebrating together in the best of spirits – all we wanted from our evening and that bit more!!! I noticed Jason took some pics on his phone of the dancing, if any of them were any good maybe he could send them on. I have sent you a few pics of the evening one of us and some dancing pics – hope you like them.

Very kindest regards

We tried the web-link but it wouldn’t work I’m afraid.As you probably know, Michael was unable to get there on the day, so Jason stood in for him.Jason was great, although we were a little surprised that Michael didn’t let us know he wasn’t going to make it.Everything went really well though – a terrific evening.

Many thanks to Jason

Hi yes had an awesome night everyone commented on how good the DJ was!!! Photographer was James Rouse top bloke as well!! Contact number of him is 00786 117111 or he is on Facebook!

Hey Jason – that was fab, we both really enjoyed it. Whole experience!

We tried to meet you in the VIP lounge after and sadly bouncer was an arsewipe:- (Even the next one up seemed to only have one way to deal with “a punter” and I’m afraid Richards vertical levels had worn thin.

He snores. I’m buzzing and would love to come again so do let us know when.

Really want to quiz you about the way you build that musical/thumpsing pinnacle . . . . (I’ll explain that in person)!

Thank you and I’m sorry we didn’t see you after. There’ll be a marital about it tomorrow!

All the best

Hi Jason

It was great to meet you too – you did a great job!

Thanks for the link to the mix too – we’ll be sure to think of you if we need DJ services again.

Hi Lynn

Hope you’re well.

Just wanted to let you know that the team at the Puma store has requested that Jason play again tomorrow from 12pm – 6pm. Jason is free and is happy to play

Please can you invoice me for this as a separate cost? I need to bill this to Puma separately. If you send me the invoice on Monday I can take care of this next week.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks Becca

Hi Jason

We would be very keen for you to come back and DJ at the festival this year within the Greenman Inn on the Thursday and Friday nights of the festival. Would it be possible for you to give a quote for your DJ’ing services on these night and supplying the PA and lighting. There will be a band in the bar on the Thursday night before you as per last year and on the Friday it would be from the main stage closing until 2.00am. We would be happy with the same PA and lighting rig as 2011.

Dear Jason,

Great party last Saturday at wedding of Arne and Adrienne Everwijn Dumas.Thank you for giving me your business card.At present, I am organising a charity ball (annual Dutch Orange Ball) at the royal courts of justice on Saturday 26 November 2011 and we are still looking for a DJ for the evening.We were wondering if you guys would be available this evening?If so and you would be interested in playing could you very kindly let me receive a cost overview?In addition, it would be helpful for us to know if you would bring your own equipment or if we would need to hire this for you.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Kind regards

Muys Snijders

Hi Jason

Yes ankle surprised me hugely too. I did ice and rest it a lot so guess prompt action helped a lot.

Sure please add it to your page:

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jason. He is a prompt, professional and extremely likeable DJ. Behind the decks he shows huge enthusiasm and really made sure our audience enjoyed their evening. Thoroughly recommended!

All the Best

Hi Lynn

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Extremely pleased with the way things went and have just completed the feedback form. I would be sure to recommend Platinum/Jason to anyone.

Jason thanks a lot for your efforts on Sat. Much appreciated. I think everyone was cream crackered after a long day doing the event and drinking in the glory of finishing the course which is why it wound down early. Men’s Health were very pleased with what you did so that bodes well for the future. Punters there I spoke to enjoyed what you were playing.

When I find some time to think about where, what and how I will do things for my 40th, I’ll be sure to bear you in mind. It’ll be sometime in March 2012.

All the Best

Hi Jason

I hope your well. I have nothing but good things about the event at Brands Hatch I hope you enjoyed it as much as Mark and his guys did.

A long shot how are you fixed for Friday 09th December. We have our Xmas Party being held at Home House in London. Mark is keen to have you DJ for us. I realise you may already be busy but could you let me know.

Thanks again,

Nicky Rooney

We just want to say a massive thank you to you for your amazing music and support on Saturday. You gave us the most incredible experience and everyone there was commenting on what a great wedding disco it was. Jason it was lovely to see you there – I was hoping to catch up with you at the wedding but it was a little tricky!

Thank you for the filming too – that was a great surprise.

Thank you so much

much love Jess & Lauren xx

Hi Lynn

Friday was the most amazing day! From start to finish it all went well: everyone danced and sang and enjoyed themselves to the full. It was beyond words and beyond our dreams.

And Jason was brilliant. It was great to meet him and he was superb at judging it right. He had everyone from the age of one, right throught to seventy-seven, dancing their socks off. Do please send him our best wishes and thanks …. And can you ask him if he still has the Czech CD as Tereza’s aunt is looking for it!

Thanks for all your help in making the day run so smoothly Lynn.

Best wishes Lincoln

Jason hi! I’m just about alive again, ha so sorry I was like bambi at the end!

Thanks for helping make it a great evening, everyone enjoyed it, hope you did and it wasn’t too late by the time you packed up!!

Hi Jason

On behalf of all of us at CECA we just wanted to send you a huge thank you for Friday night.

We had a great time, the music as always just made the whole evening for us.

Bob the General Manager was soooo happy that you played that Heroes del Silencio song so once again thanks so much for that.

I meant to write to you too…. Even tho you did lie to me about the time you left (I know I was freakishly worried about the snow) and encouraged me to drink more than I should (did you remember to collect that other bottle?) It was really great working with you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated you making the sound & music work so seamlessly for the Burlesque show and the weirdly brilliant (??) Lady Gaga. It seemed that the dance floor was full and that all of the guests made the most of the salami stained mirrored dance floor! Are you on Facebook? I’ve got a really great set of photos on there if you’d like to see them. I think you are lurking in the back of some pics with girls taking their clothes off …..

Matthew and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you for DJing at our wedding at Stationers’ Hall. You did a truly brilliant job – we had the day of our lives, and we received countless compliments from our guests on how they enjoyed the music. We think you read the atmosphere perfectly and the dancefloor was never empty.

Oh and I forgot to add…… thanks also for doing all those uplighters for us, and persisting even though we didn’t really have a clue what it was we wanted/needed! The lighting was absolutley amazing!

Thanks so much for a terrific evening on Saturday night, we all enjoyed the music so much!

Don’t forget to let me know what you are getting up to on the weekend and I’ll try and give you a mention!

Hi Lisa, we are on our honeymoon at the moment but will pay the invoice on our return. Just to say a really big thank you to Jason, he was bang on with the music and played an amazing play list and was really patient with brocket hall as well, because they wanted him to stop early due to sound regulations but he seemed to work around them and squeeze a bit longer out of them. Thank you thank you thank you, we shall definately be using him again and so will most of our friends.

An outline of requested music tunes/types for the Grove please boys. Jason – play what you have of these, if you dont have them, thats cool – at least this gives you an idea of what we think we will want. Of course, we need to see how it pans out.

I am getting married on 2nd October 2010 and wondered if you were available to provide a similar set up (for 100 guests) in a marquee in a private garden in central London.

Jason is a superstar! We thought he was fantastic and couldn’t think of anything he could have done better! The equipment was all set up on time and looked very professional. The sound quality was great, and Jason played a really good selection of music (including requests), ensuring the dance floor was busy all night. He was very nice and had good energy – he didn’t talk too much over the music (which was a bit of a worry when we first started looking for DJs!) but was always happy to make announcements, which he did professionally and effectively. We would not hesitate to recommend Jason to anyone (and would be happy to do so), and he would definately be our first choice should we ever need to book a DJ in the future.

Thank you very much Jason for helping make our wedding such a perfect day!

Dear Jason,

I have got this message and now need a quote – see below

Hi there, Jason was a brilliant DJ for us back in 2007 for our wedding; organised by the Pink Pumpkin Wedding planners. We are holding a 40th Birthday party in the cotswolds and would love to know if Jason is available – and what the costs would be. It may be too far for us to afford him to come out! but he was so good – we just had to ask for a quote. Many thanks, Andrea.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers, Paul.

Kristina Lazurenko – 20th Birthday Party

January 2010

Hi Jason,

Thank you so much for the CD! I have listened to it and I really like it, that’s exactly what I wanted.

However, I would like to have themes from James Bond movies and their remixes as background music throughout the reception and dinner. And then, maybe something old school as a kick off after the meal, gradually changing into the clubbing tunes, like the ones you have sent me. What do you think?

Look forward to hearing from you!

Kindest regards,

Kristina

Terry Smith – Wedding Reception

December 2009

Hi Jason

Had yesterday off to recover so just going through all the e-mails!

I just wanted to say a huge thanks for all you did on Sunday. I do appreciate that it was a long gig for you and that you bought so much gear with you and all at a cut down price!! The lighting and special effects were great! The music was fab and I enjoyed having a good old boogie as you could probably tell!! We have had some great comments and I think you had a pretty responsive crowd as well. I believe that Kate, my Katie’s friend, took your card as she is getting married next October at Pembroke Lodge, hope you get the gig!

Thanks once again. Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th.

Warm regards, Terry.

You may have been contacted already, just in case you haven’t … I was approached by Cosmopolitan Bride magazine to do a three page feature about my wedding at The Grove last August.

I was sure to include all the suppliers who helped me as a way of saying thanks, as it really was the most incredible day, ever!

Hope you are well and if you buy the magazine in July you will see that you have a good mention with phone numbers and website addresses.

Dear Jason

We are writing to thank you for DJ-ing at our wedding on 7 August.

Sorry I didn’t see more of you myself but I understand Jen was dancing all night. We’ve had great feedback from our friends on the music, we felt it was exactly what we wanted and a great relief to steer clear of the usual cheesy wedding stuff.

Once again, thank you for the effort you really helped make it a memorable day for us.

Yours sincerely

Michael & Jennifer

Jennifer & Andrew Beane – Wedding Reception

Hampden House – July 2006

Dear Jason

We wanted to write to you to thank you so very much for a fabulous evening disco that you provided for us on our wedding day at Hampden House. The music you played was really great at capturing the mood and getting people on the dance floor, especially when it was such a hot evening and so many guests were finding respite in the cool evening air outside!

It was excellent that even if we were not in the dance room we could hear the music played in all the other parts of the house and even the gardens, so we never felt like ourselves or our guests were missing out on the music being played if they needed to try and cool down! Your disco really made for a lively and celebratory evening.

Many thanks again for helping to make our day so special.

Jennifer & Andrew

J Davies – Function Junction

When I get time I pass on any encouranging comments so below is the comment back from Nicholas Barrow – 8 April

“Thank you for all your help at Function Junction – very professional and always helpful on the phone. Jason was fantastic and lots of people commented. Music was exactly as we asked for and the dance floor was never empty – perfect!”

Wedding – July 2006

Thank you for a wonderful day.

Everyone loved the music and I don’t think I can recall a minute when there wasn’t anyone on the dance floor which is always a good sign!

Playing ‘New York’ by Frank Sinatra was also a good move as we went there for the first leg of the honeymoon. Little did I know that at the time.

Many thanks

Andrew & Bernice Fairclough – Wedding Reception

Cover Story were absolutely amazing they made the evening for us everyone commented on how good they were. Again they really made an effort to work round our needs and created the atmosphere we wanted on our wedding day.

Winchester House, London – September 2002

Dear Jason

Having just returned from an ‘alternative honeymoon’ with our kids in Cornwall, we wanted to write and thank you for the disco you did for us at our wedding at Winchester House a couple of weeks ago.

You did a really fantastic job and so many people have remarked to us how much they enjoyed the music. You were professional, relaxed and fun to have around. You gauged the music brilliantly – and certainly made the end of our wedding day the success that it was.

Many thanks again – I’m assuming you got your money and that it was the correct amount!

Love and thanks again

Natalie & Johnny

Kendra Tuckwell, Institute of Directors

London – July 2007

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for your input to making last night’s event such a success – Christmas comes early to 116 Pall Mall was a hit.

I have had many wonderful comments today from both clients and members and it would not have been possible without your help.

My team also thoroughly enjoyed speaking to you which is great for them to promote your services to our clients.

I hope you also made some contacts at the event and it proves successful to you.

Many thanks again.

Carol O’Brien, Ince Law

May Ball – 2005

Dear Jason

Well, what can I say, you did a brilliant job and thank you very very much. Your choice of music was great and everyone saying how much they danced and danced and danced. Hope you didn’t mind my two karaoke divas – both friends of mine who can sing (or think they can and so do all of us when we have had a few!!!).

Yesterday was a day of everyone telling me what a wonderful night they had – 1 have not yet come across anyone who did not have a good night. Am still on a bit of a high.

Apologies for not speaking to you at end of evening but I was absolutely exhausted and crept off to bed before the taxies arrived as that can sometimes be a bit of a pain – trying to get drunks into them.

I think Zoe will be in touch with you about booking you for our Christmas Disco which is a more informal ‘do’ than our ball.

Once again Jason, thank you very much – you more than filled my brief to you.

Best wishes

Carol

After the dinner everyone moved into the Strangers’ Dining Room for a disco. The thunderous music shook the vunerable oil paintings as never before. During the disco Oscars were awarded in the following catagories; Most likely to succeed, in another job, Would never have made it in the movies (most talkative) Don’t try this at home (most accident prone) Best Director(always bossing people around) Best foreign performance (anyone not born in greater London). Each was received in very good heart. The DJ (who everyone thought was excellent) had many requests to keep things going well beyond the published finishing time, and to his credit he amiably went along with it. Nobody wanted to leave. When eventually things had to end there was a sense of satisfaction that it had all gone so well. It was a truly fantastic , problem-free evening and it was good that those who spend the entire year facilitating enjoyment for others had on this occasion some of their own. The event should definately be repeated.

Louise – 30th Birthday Party

Hampton – 2002

Dear Jason

Thank you so much for providing my 30th party with a fantastic mix of music, lights, fog and bubbles! Have received several comments on how good the mist was – you really caught the mood and atmosphere well. I hope it did not take too long to pack away and finally hit the sack. We had a quick journey back and pretty much crashed straight away. I was exhausted from so much dancing – Think I could put three hours plus dancing as another session in my training diary. Thanks for making it such a memorable night – hope you were able to enjoy it too and I hope to bump into you again soon.

Theresa Longbottom – Wedding Reception

Paul Kennie, Mediamaker – Client – S Event

Thanks for being so lovely!

Andrew Hudson – Wedding Reception

Hampshire – July 2007

I can’t say strongly enough how Jason added to a perfect day. He set up quietly and with no fuss – he played all our selection songs. He judged the mood of the evening perfectly. He dealt brilliantly with the children and was very polite and engaging with all our guests. Later on he played some great dance music which was perfectly judged and topped off a great evening. Jason is a charming fellow and a professional at his job and I shall be recommending him to anybody looking for music at any type of event they are holding.

Spencer Hallam – Wedding Reception

Oxfordshire – October 2006

We have had numerous comments about how very good the disco was. The floor filled up after our fist dance and didn’t empty again until the end of the evening! The music was perfect – even down to ‘no requests’ as we’d asked. Thank you.

Welcome to Platinum’s first DJ blog! Leave your comments, discuss with us, send us your ideas and experiences or ask any questions.

Nowadays lots of people seem to be tempted to get the majority of their needs off the internet. It’s easy, price competitive and you don’t have to talk to the seller on the other end of the phone anymore. It saves time, money and a lot of hassle. But does it really?

In the case of booking a DJ we experience that the majority of the people don’t really want to talk on the phone anymore. All they want is a quick price, as cheap as possible, offering the most complete package. Lots of our enquiries won’t go ahead simply because they get a cheaper offer elsewhere. And isn’t it so easy to just sit behind your computer anonymously reading through some offers and pick the cheapest? No talking, no negotiating, just click and book; done! The pictures look good so what can go wrong?

What the majority of people fail to realise is being at risk of having a party with very poor or even worse, no entertainment. It will ruin their celebration and be highly embarrassing. People book the cheap DJ feeling great about saving some money, thinking they have bought a bargain. Unfortunately in reality this often leads to many many problems.

We have had many phone calls from brides and grooms in absolute panic. Their cheap DJ cancelled, a day before their Wedding! They have lost their money, the stress factor is enormous a day before their big day and where are you going to get a good DJ 24 hours in advance if you don’t know where to go? Think about the playlist, what about the first dance, speeches your guests want to make, announcements. There is so much to think about you really don’t want to deal with just 24 hours in advance. Luckily we have always been able to help and send a Professional DJ to “save” the Wedding. As professionals it is our job to solve problems, deal with difficult situations and do the very best job.

We can’t seem to figure out why lots of people spend more money on their Wedding cake over professional and experienced entertainers. For the price of a good cake, you can have a brilliant Wedding DJ and mobile discotheque! A cake gets eaten when everyone is drunk and disappears in the toilet…..

The trend at the moment is to have a photo booth at your party, Wedding, Corporate Event or Celebration. You will have a fun photo from your Party that guests can look back on for years to come. Guests will be entertained with a fun booth!

Our Photo Booths deliver the highest quality pictures and use the latest professional equipment. Having a Photo Booth at your Party is a great source of entertainment. It is an ideal way to make sure all your guests have fun. For Weddings, Parties, Corporate Events and other Celebrations book our white Photo Booth.

Gather & SocialiseThe Photo Booth is a good place for people to socialise, gather or take silly pictures using fun props with friends & relatives whom they haven’t seen for a while.

Would you like your party to be a bit more spectacular? Pimp up your party with our very special and large variety of upgrades.

A few examples are:

Colour up your venue and completely transform the room with our atmospheric up-lighters for only £17.50 each. The High Power LED Up lighters create a warm flood of light and can be programmed to various colours. We can also program them to change colour gradually at the same time or in time to the music.

A fog machine transforms any lighting rig or projection package to create a laser type effect with beams of light traversing above the dancefloor. Cost effective extra that will make a huge difference to the atmosphere at your Event!
